Im gonna go with all of the above races, + insurrectionists (i hope!) Also, the real question is, who will he be fighting with? Who are gonna make yellow dots? My guess = elites + humans, and at least one surviving forerunner. Also probably a smattering of other former covenent races on select levels also.

Aesthetics aside, it bothers me because I'd imagine a Spartan IV would look a lot different--which is to say a lot more similar. If they are presumably cheaper, less-super soldiers--like the Spartan-IIIs, although designed as a long-term asset instead of use-and-loss suicide squads--you'd think they'd look something like them--a cross between SPI and MJOLNIR armor, for instance. Reach suggests that there were tons of private companies making at least demo tech for MJOLNIR--so why does the next-gen, produced months after the last revision*, look so radically different?

I would have preferred something that at least showed some prior design influence--whether it was more boxy like the MkV, to suggest how its not as expensive, or had a helmet like an ODST/Operator helm we've seen previously, to suggest it's an upgrade of designed components, etc. It seems at this juncture like a missed opportunity.

*Presuming this is the same armor as discussed in Glasslands, and not another revision, which I accept is possible.

You have to remember that the Mark VII's are operating on a way different technology than all previous mjolnir armors. Honestly, i think they would have been given a completely new name, since they have very little in common with their predecesors. Except by naming them "MJOLNIR mark VII armor" and its bearers the "Spartan 4's" allows them to piggieback on the enormous successess of the last itterations of the spartan and mjolnir programs. thus, people will be less inclined to challenge or question the wisdom of giving the fact that they are just giving an already battle scarred soldier a super suit and some rambo drugs...

Also, if cheif's new armor is basically "MJOLNIR mark VI 2.0" (ie: still mark VI, but with the current upgrades and redesigns -- that being, in my humble opinion, the most probable explaination of his armor) than you can definately see the design shifts from mark VI.1 to mark VI.2, and then you can probably see the design shifts from mark VI.2 to mark VII

No info yet. But GI has launched a hub and the upcoming issue will have details.
